No, I'm not going to offer the bible, thank you. "Eye of the Storm" by James A. Forrest. Doggerel, followed by drivel, cliche, dead-metaphor, poor grammar and usage and a complete lack of understanding concerning literary devices. How this dreck was ever published is beyond me. Post up your worst.

So, I will go with ANY Stephanie Myers book. Twilight fever is a horrible condition sweeping the globe, sadly, there is no vaccine. /sleep.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Oh, I know one…The Outsiders
I know, I know I'm probably the only person that feeels that way
but I HATED that book. I read it a few years back because they
study that book in 8th grade. I remember laying on the couch
reading it, wishing it would end soon, and moaning quite loudly
"will this thing ever end" and my son Nick laughing at me that
I had to read a book I hated haha.
Other then that the only other torturous reading I remember
doing was actually part of my favorite book; Wicked.
The beginning of that book was probably THE most torturous
thing I ever had to read. But I paid a lot of money for that
book so I forced myself to keep going, and boy am I glad I
did. Once Elphaba went off to college the book became amazing
and turned into my favorite book of all time /biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> . I just wish the
beginning wasnt so awful.

I made myself read 3 1/2 of the Twilight books (couldnt make it through all of the last one)
so I could be closer to my students /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> , I wont say they were awful, but they sure werent
great either haha
Offlineoh, and i can get turned off a book because of the stupidest little "error"
nick still loves to joke with me about the time i was reading a book, it
was a good book, and then in one part the truck makes a quick, sharp
left turn and the passenger slides into the driver. /huh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> , she would
have slid into the door, not the driver. ruined the rest of the book for
me /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> (sadly i'm being serious /unsure.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> )
OfflineANYTHING by danielle steele, jackie collins, shite of that nature. i cannot abide any of them. when quizzing one of cait's english teachers at the beginning of one year, i asked about what the kids would be reading as cait had already done 'to kill a mockingbird' at home and the teacher said: 'i haven't thot about it: i was so into danielle steele over the summer…' cait spent 10 minutes trying to convince her that HERMIONE was pronounce her-MY-o-knee and not her-me-OWE-knee. i got her transferred next day…
as to the worst book, i didn't care for the 'left behind' series that was highly recommended. they just felt simplistic, manipulative and formulaic.

maybe i would have felt different if i had read it first as a teen.
reading it fresh as an adult, i just couldnt stand it. and i didnt
know at the time, but i kept saying to myself "this was written
by a woman". I could just tell.
like i said, i know i'm unusual in this. the english teacher
use to always have a lot of fun every year when it was
time to do The Outsiders. telling the kids how it's Mrs D's
favorite book and stuff like that haha

Oh yeah, I think it's a much different read as a teen compared to as an adult.
OfflineNot that it's bad fiction I'm sure, but I have tried about five times to read 'The Great Gatsby' and I have never made it through the first chapter.
I always seem to fall into a daydream or my mind wanders while trying to read that book and I don't know why that is.
Well, I'd argue that . . . No, that violates the spirit of the thread.
OfflineI've read the twilight series… my IQ dropped a good 10 points and have never been so insulted as a woman in my entire life! I twitch whenever someone tells me how much they love it. GAH The chick who wrote it is on the top of my "People I would walk up and slap if i ever saw in public" list.

2012? Seriously? I survived Y2K, 9/11, 6/6/6, 9/9/9, H1N1, & Swine Flu. BRING IT ON!!!

I hate that teen age girls wish they were Bella and want a guy like Edward.
OMG! he's such an a$$. I worry what this is doing to our girls /unsure.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />
I remember saying at school that Edward was a jerk and a 6th grade girl
said to me "no he's not, would a jerk say…." and then she quoted some
stupid line of Edwards. I looked at her and /rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

and by the way – Gosh it's good to see you, Pynki!
Yeah – Twilight is one of the worst rescue fantasies I've ever read. I hear teen aged girls and their moms love it though.
OfflineIt's good to be back!!! I missed you guys alot!
I would tell you not to Read it Mk but i told that to my sister and she fell in love. blah!!
its not just teens and their moms all my friends are crazy about it, and they're in their mid twenties. Its pathetic.

OfflineWorst fiction ever? Its usually my first opinion about my won stuff when i give it the first read through. ROFL
I heard about how bad the last Twilight book was… and why. I WANT THAT MOVIE MADE! Seriously… I need to see a movie that bad… and Troma should do it.
RTT
Nice to see you again Pynki. /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />
